I find it ironic that Microsoft will be implementing it when the latest version is IS11 on a fully patched windows 7 host doesn’t support samesite.
I have no idea why the host OS is relevant, but the feature should never have been limited by it, and it’s a nasty move given it’s a security feature and not just some random shiny new button.
- baroffoos 7y agoWindows 7 is end of life in about 2 months. There should be no expectation of future updates on an OS passed its EoL especially when it was such a long support period.
- TylerE 7y agoTechnically Win7 was already EoL almost 4 years ago... it's the extended support they're killing at the end of the year.
- Bnshsysjab 7y agoSame site was implemented in IE some time ago, but they didn’t implement it in Windows 7 (which, as you pointed out has not yet been end of lifed). It’s still in support, and the function shouldn’t even care about the host OS, I think the lack of implementation was more likely completely intentional (on the level of ‘if Windows.version < 10 return true’) which is an absolute dick move.
